20120327833 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION OF CONNECTED TERMINAL IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method and apparatus for controlling an active time period during a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation in a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system. The method includes starting, in the UE, a first timer to monitor control data via a shared control channel, the control data being associated with user data to be transmitted; and starting, in the UE, a second timer, when the control data indicating a new transmission of associated user data is received via the shared control channel while the first timer is running, or restarting, in the UE, the second timer, when the control data indicating a new transmission of associated user data is received via the shared control channel while the second timer is running. | 12-27-2012 |

20150296561 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION OF CONNECTED TERMINAL IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method and apparatus for controlling an active time period during a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation in a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system. The method includes transitioning to an active state from a sleep state; extending an active time of the active state, if control data indicating transmission of new user data is received on a control channel; receiving a control signal indicating a termination of the active time; and transitioning to the sleep state from the active state, based on the control signal. | 10-15-2015 |

20100289687 | Antijam protected GPS-based measurement of roll rate and roll angle of spinning platforms - A system and method for determining the roll rate and roll angle of a spinning platform in a jamming environment, by suppressing the interference signals from the received GPS signals and using the measured phase and amplitude differences between the GPS satellite signals received on two or more antennas. The measured signal differences and the navigation solution from a GPS receiver are processed in a roll filter to obtain the desired information. Data from non-GPS measurement sources is optionally provided to update the navigation solution. Although of wide applicability, the invention is uniquely suited to the measurement of roll rates and roll angles of fast spinning platforms with small baselines in the presence of jamming, and where the antennas are separated from each other by distances that are a fraction of the GPS signal wavelength. | 11-18-2010 |
20120068884 | GPS-based roll rate and roll angle measurement in the absence of jamming - A system and method for determining the roll rate and roll angle of a spinning platform by using the measured phase and/or amplitude differences between the GPS satellite signals received on two or more antennas. The measured signal differences and the navigation solution from a GPS receiver are processed in a roll filter to obtain the desired information. Data from non-GPS measurement sources is optionally provided to update the navigation solution. Although of wide applicability, the invention is uniquely suited to the measurement of roll rates and roll angles of fast spinning platforms with small baselines in the presence as well as in the absence of jamming, and where the antennas are separated from each other by distances that are a fraction of the GPS signal wavelength. | 03-22-2012 |
20130169477 | Single antenna GPS measurement of roll rate and roll angle of spinning platform - System and method for determining the roll rate and roll angle of a spinning platform. The IQ amplitude and/or phase characteristics of GPS signals received at a single receiver antenna are measured using the signals output directly by a correlator that is driven at the satellite tracking frequency used for forming the navigation solution. The roll rate and roll angle are determined in real time by a Roll filter, which is preferably an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) employing probabilistic data association, whose inputs include the measured IQ characteristics and the navigation solution. Data from non-GPS measurement sources is optionally provided to update the navigation and/or roll solution. | 07-04-2013 |

20120326926 | HIGH SENSITIVITY GPS/GNSS RECEIVER - The GPS/GNSS receiver and method disclosed herein improves the GPS/GNSS receiver tracking sensitivity for detecting low signal-to-noise (SNR) GPS/GNSS signals through improved vector tracking, multibit correlation, improved extended range code-phase discrimination, and discrimination and navigation filter measurement via Probabilistic Data Association, individually or in combination. The solution is achieved without any external data aiding, such as from an inertial measurement unit, other wireless infrastructure source, or communication of GPS/GNSS satellite vehicle (SV) subframe data to the GPS/GNSS receiver over a data link. | 12-27-2012 |
